Perhaps, but I have my doubts that’ll last. The schedule has 5 games in 17 days in both metros, then 2 more in 7 days in Houston and 4 more in 17 days in Dallas. I have a hotel a block away that generally is $99 a night. For the week around a high school graduation in the area, they moved to three night minimum and $299 per night. Rates skyrocket all over the Metroplex when Cowboys games are scheduled, this will be similar.

At least both areas have decent to good LLC penetration for getting in and out…plus nearby airports to avoid gouging (OKC SHV AUS SAT LCH)…and the possibility of casino rooms in Oklahoma and Louisiana if needed.
